5 fall films to add to your watch list

By Reigha Weaver | Arts & Life Writer As temperatures finally drop, leaves start to fall and we leave midterms in the past, we can finally step outside and appreciate fall for all it brings, including, of course, plenty of films with wonderful atmospheres. “Class Rank” (2017), directed by Eric Stoltz I think the best way to describe “Class Rank” is if Wes Anderson made a high school movie. “Class Rank” follows high school juniors Veronica Krauss (Olivia Holt) and Bernard Flannigan (Skyler Gisondo) as Bernard runs for their school’s Board of Education. Holt and Gisondo perfectly encapsulate the weird high schooler vibe, and the movie feels like a warm sip of cider. The film’s cozy color grading mixed with the familiar atmosphere makes this move a perfect fall pick. “Penelope” (2006), directed by Mark Palansky I frequently watched “Penelope” as a child, and sometimes there’s nothing more fall-coded than cozying up and watching a familiar favorite.
